When Husbands Have To Begrudgingly Accept Their Fates As Cat Dads, No Matter The Consequences

Somehow - we know, it's crazy - there are still people out there who hate cats. Shocking, blasphemous, yes, we agree. To us, people who have had cats for so long and know how purrfect cats are, such a thing seems absolutely preposterous. There is only one thing that we tell people who tell us that they hate cats, and that's the fact that if they actually interacted with a cat for more than five minutes, they would no longer hate cats. 

We stand firmly in that belief. We have had it confirmed too many times to count. We have seen a woman adopt her first cat and immediately become a cat lady. We have seen a dad who said he didn't like cats change his mind thanks to one special kitten. We have even put together a whole listicle of 14 manly men who didn't want cats falling in love with their furballs. All it takes is one cat, and sometimes - like in this case - those cats are forced upon us. Y'all are pawsome, ICanHas users. Thank you for sharing these stories with us, and we hope that you and your cats (and your husbands) are living happily ever after.

    "Cat had kittens under a neighbor's shed. She rescued and took care of them. When the kittens were old enough to leave their mother, she asked my husband if he wanted one. (We have 4). He told her she'd have to ask me. My husband said I could have 1? Okay, I'll take 2. Our youngest was 6. I figured the kitten would need another kitten to play with. Named the boys Ted and Dougal."

    "Rowdy's story is pretty funny, I was with friends at Petsmart, and he was there for adoption, the cutest kitten I've ever seen. I said to the girl, 'Let me hold him, but I can't take him because my husband will divorce me if I come home with one more animal' Rowdy leaned forward and licked my nose, I said, 'I can always get another husband.' Rowdy outlasted the husband."

    Font - Top fan Vonda K Metcalf The line was drawn in the sand at 6 cats... Cat number 13, I hear my husband ask "do we have an orange cat?" Buddy had been in the house almost a week before Hubs noticed Buddy laying on the sofa. "We do now!" Like Reply Hide 1w Edited 9

    Font - Mercedes Jones I once found a tiny kitten at the gas station on my way to work so I brought it back to our apartment, opened the door, threw it onto my husband and bolted out of dodge. Got home after my shift and kitten was still in his lap, snuggled up to his game controller blasting away with him. And that's the day I learned I can get away with pretty much anything as long as *it* or *I* am cute enough. Like Reply Hide 1w 5

    Font - Cynde Hujarski I brought home a second kitten to keep my first one company. My husband was less than pleased. That was 2 years ago. That kitten chose him as her favorite human. She all but ignores me for his attention and pets now. He just laughs. I remind him how he growled at me when I first brought her home. Lol! I always tell her she picked the right parent to suck up too. If she ends up with high vet bills like the other one, he'll be the one to fix her. Like Reply Hide 1w

    Font - Nicole Ann Years ago we found a kitten in our basement. No idea how he got there. We had a cat already that did not get along with other animals. Husband said we could not keep him. After a couple of days, I set out to bring him to the animal shelter on my way to work. Husband texts and says he missed the little guy already and so the next day I went back and got him Like Reply Hide 1w
